TERRIBLE CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH OPPRESSION. TRADE AT A STANDSTILL. . PRIESTS EXECUTED AND SOLDIERS SHOT FOR REBELLION. (Received 9.10 a.m.) London, August 17. Letters reveal the terrible conditions existing in Dalmatia, Bosnia, and Croatia. Trade has ceased and food is scarce. All notable Serbophiles have been imprisoned, including the deputies, merchants, professors, mayors, and many Catholic priests. Terror prevails everywhere. Clubs have been dissolved, newspapers prohibited, and editors imprisoned. Soldiers have taken the leading Serbs as hostages and guarantee with their lives the safety of bridges, telegraphs, and railways. Sixteen orthodox priests were executed on 3rd August at Serajavo. A whole regiment of Bohemian soldiers was annihilated in Bosnia for rebellion.
